Thumbs down Hamsters dont like burgess syrian food

I saw that my local pet shop had the normal syrian burgess mix so i bought some to try out. I mixed a little bit in with the harry hamster and have been doing for around a month now. They just wont eat it! I have to say it looks more seedy to me and not impressed with it at all. I'm just going to stick with harry hamster, mealworms and burgess dwarf which my hams seem to like

I prefer the Burgess Supahamster Harvest (syrian) for dwarf hamsters to be honest because it has more grains than the dwarf version offers I feel. It doesn`t include millet but I add Budgie Tonic Mix and other seeds to it anyway!

I stopped using Harry Hamster for my syrian as he was bored with it and I feel it`s all large biscuits, corn and alfalfa and nothing else. I switched to Tesco`s Hamster Food (black bag) instead and he likes this. Not wholly impressed with either, but I definately wouldn`t go back to Harry Hamster again.

I particularly like the Burgess (syrian mix) because it already looks like a nice muesli variety which I can add other grains and seeds to and it works well for me. I only have a male syrian and a male roborovski at the moment and they both seem to enjoy these foods.
